Rudolf Nureyev

Rudolf Xämät ulı Nuriev, also known as Rudolf Khametovich Nureyev. Rudolf Nureyev was an important dancer born in the Soviet Union. In fact, he is considered one of the best dancers of the 20th century.

This is the incredible tomb that contains the mortal remains of Rudoldf Nureyev. It is located in the Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois cemetery, where Sege Lifar also rests. This is considered the "Russian cemetery of Paris" as there is a high percentage of exiles and immigrants who were buried in it. And no, it's not a fabric, it's not a cape or a rug. This tomb is a spectacular mosaic of colors that wants to resemble the kilim: A technique that consists of making handmade rugs by hand. These were used to cover the coffins of wanderers.

The realism obtained in terms of its shape, folds, color and texture makes it one of the main tourist attractions of this cemetery. This tomb was designed by his friend Ezio Frigerio. He and Rudolf Nureyev met after one of his performances for the Romeo and Juliet ballet.
